Please join us in welcoming Milford’s newest teachers and staff members to the flock! Today, these outstanding educators joined District leaders for our annual Milford University, where they learned about our Portrait of an Eagle, explored District resources and traditions, and began building connections with colleagues from across Milford Schools.

Milford Schools is updating attendance practices to comply with Ohio House Bill 96, which includes new requirements for how schools track absences, notify families, and support students who miss school.
As a reminder, under Ohio law, a student is considered chronically absent after missing at least 10% of the school year. Chronic absenteeism includes all missed instructional time, whether the absences are excused, medically excused, or unexcused.

Beginning today, the new traffic signal at State Route 131 and Eagles Watch Way will help improve school traffic flow and enhance safety for our students, families, staff, and community.
The intersection includes pedestrian push buttons, new crosswalk markings, and vehicle-detection sensors that activate the signal when traffic is exiting Eagles Watch Way. This allows the light on State Route 131 to remain green when no vehicles are waiting. Eagles Watch Way has also been expanded to include separate lanes for drivers turning right or left when exiting the school campus.
We are excited about these improvements and the positive impact they will have on student safety and our community’s daily commute. Thank you to ODOT and all the crews who helped make this new traffic signal possible!

Milford Schools will notify and work with families if a student approaches or reaches one of these thresholds. Our goal is to help every student attend school consistently and stay REAdy to Learn!

One of the biggest changes families can expect is that parents and guardians may excuse up to eight absence occurrences per school year without a doctor’s note. After eight parent-excused occurrences, medical documentation will be required for future absences to be marked as excused.

After exploring the canals of Venice, our MHS students continued their Italian adventure through the historic streets of Siena and on to Pisa, where they got an up-close look at some of Italy’s most famous landmarks.
And, of course, no trip through Italy would be complete without plenty of gelato along the way! 🍦
Stay tuned for more updates from our Eagles abroad!
